Dirty Donny
Here is some work by Dirty Donny that I thought was pretty sick and actually somewhat surf relevant. Most of his shit is monsters, skating, old cars, motorcycles, with a light sprinkling of surf shit.

Beware of the Chupacabra
EC just had his 5'6" Chupacabra featured on ESPN Surfing. Here is the article.
Beware of the Chupacabra
This freakish little board will have your running for the hills...or your nearest surf shop.
October 7, 2009, 11:54 AM

The Chupacabra in all its funktacular glory.
The first sightings were documented in Puerto Rico, with tales of fear and terror chasing close behind. My first encounter was in La Jolla, where apprehension and astonishment abounded. I am speaking, of course, of the Chupacabra: bane of goats and barneys everywhere.
The love child of boutique boards and mainstream, Eric Christenson first dabbled with the beast after a customer brought in a Merrick Fishcuit. But over a decade of shaping and an inherent talent in the blood each gave Christenson an eye for detail and innovation.
When I first saw the Chupacabra, it was bittersweet. At a mean 5'6", the board looked like it was made to drain a wave of all its potential. But standing at 6'2" and dancing awkwardly around a buck ninety, I wasn't sure the board would float me. But even on a sub-par day, it did. And while the belly stretched rashguard lying supine on a nearby longboard may be more telling of the reason why, I was able to scratch into waves he couldn't. One reason for this supernatural ability? Foam distribution.
"A lot of foam is over your chest so it catches waves easily. We started playing around with the depths of the concave deck, and it varies from customer to customer," says Christenson. "If it's a skinny guy, we can go pretty deep. But the idea is to get the feet closer to the water without losing floatation."
The concave deck can allow you to truly tweak the board and make it your own, conforming to your body. Think Reebok pumps, but these work. "Outside the ribcage, that line is a little higher than normal, but then we didn't want this boaty rail where you lose a lot of feel for the board, and have to really dig into the rail to make a turn, or you land your bottom turn and have to push too hard off the bottom and mess up your top. So it was just trying to find the right blend of everything."
The Chupacabra, pre glass job. Check the rails.
And boaty rails these were not. At first glance, the chimed rails are evident, and on my first backhand wave they were appreciated. The wind had come up, and there was a good deal of chop, but the Chupacabra pumped fast and floated me up, over, and through some soup I hoped the 5'6", 20 3/8", 2 3/8" board could do, but wasn't sure. But what black magic lends itself here?
Evolution and natural selection through Skip Frye and Eric's older brother, Chris. "It all derives from a board that my brother did, it was really the first, true [Steve] Lis style, Frye style, twin keel fish. [Chris] had made one for me after getting one from Skip. He basically copied the Skip, but changed the rails a little bit, put a modern twist on it. Skip's rails are really Skip's rails, they're really weird. We gave it a little less edge, but basically you've got a vee entry into a flat front foot, into a single hull through the fins. That's what I still do today. Over the years I've refined it, but it's that same thing."
But don't get it pretzled, the board isn't a bite off. Just as Dr. Frankenstein is to his bolt-necked buddy, with one glance at the Chupacabra, there's no doubt Eric Christenson is the mad scientist behind the creation.
"It's kind of a mix between his Anthrax model and a fish," describes Ben Machtolf, Icons of Surf V.P., world-class longboarder, and surfboard sommelier. "I took it out at San O, and it was pretty glassy, probably chest high with shoulder high sets. It paddles super good. The first wave I caught, I was expecting it to be stiff since it's fatter, but it was so fast. Just going down there was so much speed off the take off, it was so fast and doing a roundhouse was so loose."
The goofyfooted test pilot also appreciated the backside benefits, "I took one right, and right off the bottom came up and did a hit. The board works so well." At six-foot, 175 lbs, Machtolf would order his own Chupacabra at 5'6" and a little thinned out, to about 2 ¼.
All supernatural allusions aside, the Chupacabra is one hell of a board, perfect for fish aficionados eager to up the progression of their surfing, or a daily driver thruster looking for some extra paddle power in fatter waves or even a quad for the quiver.
What does Christenson hope for those who dance with the Chupacabra? "I want them to go faster than they have on any other board. That's the goal. Whether they achieve that, I have no idea. But I want them to get a sense for speed."
You can find the featured Chupacabra at Icons of Surf in San Clemente.

My friends don't surf
86% of my friends don't surf. Its pretty cool. They can actually talk about things going on in the world and always surprise me with ill behavior. You'd think most people that go surf would be laid back, but all signs point to the contrary as far as Orange Clowny is concerned. Surf cliques seem to always be friendly to the face and talk mad loads of shit behind the back. Major drama all the time that the participants seem to thrive off of. That's why I'm so stoked on what we have going here at S&D. We just surf and leave it at that. Fuck everything else. I don't care to attend your surf art show/band/whatever, only to discuss the latest drama going down in the scene and put other people down.
I'd rather get drunk with cool people like my buddy Bootz-
"I'm gonna go piss player. Fuck that whole coaster routine."
Pulls this out of his wallet and bails...
I swear surfing and surfers are so fucking lame. If I didn't love it, I'd fucking hate it.

There's a lot going on at the BEAR FACE Camp . . . working on a new album and have some shows coming up. This saturday @ The Basement in Downtown LB should be fun, FREE before 10 and cheap drinxxx. I highly recommend trying to make it out. It would make me happy.
Dono . . . Manager @ Katin, is putting a surf video together that documents a surf trip along the Californian Coast, he decided to use one of our songs for the trailer, good stuff.
Also I don't think I ever posted our EP up for download here, so if you don't have it click that link below
The File
So I really, really, really don't like the idea of reunion shows (for a number of reasons) but fuck I wish I could have gone to the Suicide File reunion show in Chicago a while back...
I was just reading about John Ashcroft for an online class and when it came time to respond I was feeling a little lazy so i just pasted the link to TSF playing "Ashcroft" (I know up tha punx) and it led me to watching several more.

Snow season is coming up and I am happy to see what some of my friends put together from last season...
Finally a video that is raw and crunchy as fuck...
Snow and Surf flicks have been warped into these euro pop same trick pieces of shit...
I remember the first surf film I ever watched was Lost Across America and that video got me so pumped on surfing, it was all about breaking shit, raging, and just shredding because you love it...
This video teaser from Skeleton Crew looks promising to Snowboarding video future...
enjoy!

Now it is just assholes and funboards.
